A retrospective clinical and histopathological review was made of 499 previously untreated cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with adequate initial biopsy material diagnosed at Memorial Hospital between 1958 and 1969. Three hundred-eighty-four cases (77%) had diffuse, 104 (21%) nodular, nine (2%) nodul

β¦ Synopsis
BACKGROUND.
Geographic variations in the histopathologic pattern of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are well documented. Insight into this epidemiologic data might shed light on the underlying etiology. Currently, there is a paucity of information regarding the pattern of NHL occurring in Thailand and Southeast Asia. The current nationwide study was undertaken to obtain a clearer definition of the disease among Thais and to compare this information with data from other Asian and 'Western countries.
METHODS. A retrospective analysis of histopathologic subtypes and clinical features
was conducted in 1391 patients (age 2 15 years) with NHL who were treated at 6 major medical centers in 4 representative areas of Thailand. One hundred and thirty unselected cases were immunohistochemically studied. The reports from other countries used for comparison were identified through a computerized search on MEDLINE.
